What's Your Dream?

On Sunday, Anthony, Tricia and I ran in the Rivalry Clash Huskies vs Cougars 5k/10k at Marymoore Park in Redmond, WA.  To get ready for the race I first laid out my outfit (because it's important to look better than those cougars!) And then I painted my nails very festive purple and gold theme, as shown below. Now I have noticed this new trend in the running world that people actually take photos of their race day outfits. So after thinking this is a little odd for a few months seeing people post and post and post their outfits I decided to give it a go this time. And this is what I came up with. Now one important factor for me about the races that I am able to do, is that they usually take place after I get off my 12 our shift at work. So I usually change at work and then head straight to the race, which thankfully, this time was right near my home so I didn't have to go too far out of my way and I didn't have to hurry to get there on time. But this also means that the rac...

Yesterday Anthony and I had planned on running together after he got off work but a little while before he got off work he text me saying he was tired. So I decided to cheer him up with some running encouragement photos. My photo experiment worked, I had  used the new iPhone timer in the Camera and it worked great. The more importantly it made Anthony laugh. After he got off work I made him dinner and we watched an episode of The Walking Dead and then we decided to go for a run.  Right off the bat the run didn't start well because I ate too much! We got to the bottom of the hill and had to walk. Food babies food!  During the run we both struggled with the over eating and then running. But in the end we still had a good run and I'm glad we got to go together. Just a short 3 mile run but better then no miles! Sometimes it's really hard to overcome being tired and getting out and running but sometimes it's worth it. When Anthony and I run together it is some of the best ti...

Yesterday I set out for my run like normal with the distance of 6 miles in mind. As soon as I stepped outside I knew the weather was perfect for a 6 mile run, it was cloudy and cool with a slight breeze, perfect! I started off my run a little slower than normal but then decided to keep up a nice slow steady pace. At mile 3 I decided I wanted to keep going and try for 8 miles, I felt really good and didn't want to stop. At about mile 4 I could see the weather was changing it looked like rain but that doesn't stop me and decided to make mile 5 my turnaround point making my total a 10 mile run. I just felt really good and didn't feel like stopping. Then by my 5 1/2 it was pouring.  Yes, the heavens opened up and the rain came down, the last 5 miles I had to run in pouring rain. So this was my first wet run of the season. I kept pushing through and because it was pouring I fiddled with my phone to make sure that it wouldn't get drenched but by doing so I lost track of my au...
